Sometimes, when a cache container has been compromised by breakage or other damage, a geocache becomes a home for some of God’s little critters. I have encountered two caches that were active nests for field mice. Well, I am going to call them field mice because they were out in a field. As I opened the damaged container to see if everything was wet and moldy I discovered that the container was in use and a pair of beady little eyes were looking at me. One of the benefits of using a geocache for a mouse house is the ready supply of paper which can be shredded for insulation and a cosy little environment in which to raise another generation of field mice.
With this geocache my desire is not to actually have the geocache become a mouse house. I just wanted to make it look like a mouse house (as I imagine it) and have the mice die of frustration trying to figure out how to get inside. If perchance (and that is a big IF), I say, if any mouse does happen to get inside, you may feel free to remove it and place it in another cache.
Enjoy the Mouse House but be sure to close it tightly after you sign the log book and swap goodies.
